I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman
I am now in the stage of life called adolescence, wherein I am encountering a dilemma- identity crisis. I always catch myself in confusion. I still don’t know myself entirely. I need others to supplement my self analysis. Here’s a glimpse at my possessed personality.
“I’m already 17, yet I still couldn’t consider myself as a lady, but I know I’m no longer worthy to be considered as a girl.” Then, who really am I?
What shines the most in me is my strong sense of purpose. I am an ambitious individual, I keep on dreaming and aspiring, I just love to see myself visualising the future that lies ahead. My goals are many, they cover my entire being, and these things regulate me. Without these, I could have been considered as the most worthless person ever exists. The passion is burning inside me- I want to be an educator, a journalist, and a doctor, I have all of these as my future professions because I am inclined into public service. It’s a fulfilment when I am able to help others even without expecting anything in return.
How can I grant these yearnings of mine, if my personality also reflects my discrepancies, weaknesses and negative attributes? I hate myself of being so impatient and strict- when these things put me into stress, displaced aggression ad my coping mechanism. I just couldn’t escape from the complications that it may bring, for these might jeopardize my healthy mind setting of a bright future that lies ahead.
These are the two sides of my personality. Upon assessing, my analysis tells me to grow and live life according to my desired purpose. I have to be innovative; I must not implement too much initiative, for I really have the tendency to be ruthless. It’d not on what will I do, but it really matters on how I categorize my attributes according to relevance and eventually develop those. I have to handle myself considering my strengths and limitations.
Then, who really am I? Well, I am still a young adult, who keeps on dreaming and aiming to become a lady with a designated purpose to serve the public. These goals motivate me to overcome my weaknesses and eventually become a well-developed being.
you're such n egoistic lady..:D and i give you a 2 thumbs up for that! that identity crisis that ur passin' thru is very normal(based on the psychoanalitic theory). everyone is passin thru that..but lemme say one thing..these "liabilities" of urz r r steppig stones..keep on dreaming girl..absorve the positive energy..go placidly amidst the noise nd haste..and rmmbr wat peace der may be in silence(desiderata)

What’s on my mind? Hey elms! When you mentioned about what your purpose in life is, I also tend to reflect on myself. It’s so difficult to identify if we have so many desires in life. But one thing I can share about is what Oprah Winfrey had said in one of her interviews and a thought that I have always believed in -“You can have it all, you just can’t have it all at once.” True isn’t it? So let’s not hurry on the things we want, let’s enjoy what He has given to us and be thankful. Nice one there.
